(Yes I have all the TAC 30 figures , along with gold coins of both fetts and the concept Stormtrooper)This is a cool one too , but why walgreens? I looked for another exclusive a while back and they didn't have any. Hopefully this will be easier to find than the wave 2 fett. Also however , if there's pre-orders at comic con , why not just make it an online exclusive? Don't understand that. Hasbro did it with those marvel figures too , and McFarlane did it with those video game figures.]]>https://www.bobafettfanclub.com/boards/user/6776/2014-08-20T15:49:38Zhttps://www.bobafettfanclub.com/boards/post/98977/#p98977

The Official Star Wars website confirmed today that the rumored Walgreens exclusive Black Series Boba Fett is indeed coming this Fall 2014. The figure will also be a pre-order at this year's San Diego Comic Con.

As some of our Facebook followers pointed out, this is a re-paint only and not a true sculpt of the prototype armor photographed in June 1978, prior to Boba Fett's role in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back.

Nevertheless, starwars.com had this to include:

While Boba Fett’s iconic Mandalorian armor has become one of the most famous designs in all of Star Wars, it started out with a very different color scheme. In early concept art by Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston, seen in the gallery below, the bounty hunter was depicted wearing sleek, all-white armor. On June 28, 1978, Star Wars sound designer Ben Burtt and The Empire Strikes Back assistant film editor Duwayne Dunham debuted the costume with a test video, detailing its weaponry and functionality; the colors would later be developed to what has become Fett’s definitive look, but it all began with this early version.

Hasbro’s figure is a tribute to this important piece of Star Wars history and design — look for it exclusively at Walgreens this fall, with pre-orders opening at San Diego Comic-Con later this month!
